Damian Thompson's Telegraph blog, Holy Smoke, contains an entry that may be of interest to readers of Jubal's Review. See here. Thompson takes up an article appearing in a certain British Weekly by Joseph Cullen who has a long and good track record in choral music and particularly in Catholic Church music. Cullen's article is not available on line (at the time of writing) but quotes appear from in it Thompson's blog. Amongst the comments is a link to an article in the Vivace e-journal by Colin Mawby which can be accessed by subscribing to the newsletter.

Within the festival itself there are pieces performed more than once giving the congregations a chance to form more than a first im[ression of some of what is on offer. Various venues are being used including Westminster Cathedral.
